KORTENBACH & RAUH (Kapuder, Germany) pays tribute to the industrial romantic culture of the Black Forest in Germany. Heinrich Kortenbach, a descendant of a carpenter family that has been customizing waterproof carriage covers for European royalty for generations, is well-versed in the properties of natural fabrics and solid wood materials. Elise Rauh, a precision mechanical engineer from Munich, has devoted herself to the research and development of precision hardware structures, fascinated by using industrial craftsmanship to withstand changing and harsh weather conditions.

The two met by chance at a blacksmith workshop in Baden-Württemberg, relying on Black Forest beech wood and Rhine steel special steel to create the first umbrella in Europe to pass the rigorous VDE industrial rainstorm test, laying the foundation for the brand’s century-old precision craftsmanship gene. The brand pays tribute to the umbrella pioneer August Kortenbach (1818-1881), inheriting the original product philosophy of the first craftsman: “Taming the Unpredictable Rain with a Mechanical Heart.”.

Brand Concept Brand’s German Slogan: PRÄZISION ÜBER DEN WOLKEN (Precision above the clouds) Caboode has assembled a team of senior original designers from both China and Germany, based on the global consumer market. It integrates Germany’s century-old precision manufacturing techniques with modern daily aesthetics, adhering to the core proposition of designing only for quality life. Relying on cross-regional design resources, it achieves product innovation through innovative structural research and development and material improvement, making industrial-grade precision umbrellas accessible to everyday use.

Core Product Advantages 1. Patented Technology Barrier: All series of umbrellas are equipped with multiple proprietary patented structures. The main materials for the ribs and fabric are selected from scarce special materials on the market, distinguishing them from conventional mass-produced umbrellas and forming differentiated product competitiveness. 2. Dual-Specification Material Grading: The products are divided into two major product lines: the high-end precision series and the mass-market practical series. The core price difference comes from the choice of frame materials: the high-end models use lightweight aviation aluminum frames, while the cost-effective models choose high-stability iron frames, paired with multiple original custom color schemes (elegant black, mint blue, dream purple, ice crystal pink, autumn green, khaki white, lemon yellow, pine green), suitable for different consumer segments in different regions around the world. 3. German Precision Standard: Adhering to the original VDE rainstorm-level industrial testing standard, it inherits the Black Forest craftsmen’s reverence for nature, balancing durability, wind and rain resistance, and appearance quality.

Brand Positioning Inheriting the century-old industrial romantic core of the German Black Forest, we combine royal-grade material heritage with modern precision mechanical craftsmanship to create a global umbrella brand that balances durability and aesthetic quality. We deeply cultivate both domestic retail and cross-border B2B foreign trade tracks, continuously delivering high-cost-effective patented umbrella products
